1 DRAFT Graduate Assessment Plan Master s Program in Soil Science 1. Program Information Program Master of Science Department Crop and Soil Science College College of Agricultural Science Submitted by Russ Karow 2. Program Outcomes Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes for a Master s program in Soil Science. Through successful participation and completion of a Master of Science, Soil Science degree program, students will gain an advanced understanding of soil science. Students will be sufficiently trained through disciplinary coursework and research experience to provide soil science expertise and will have the breadth of knowledge to be able to communicate with professionals from the broad range of specialties involved in soil resources management and research. Outcome 1: SCHOLARSHIP Graduates will have the ability to conduct research that extends knowledge in the field of soil science. This will be demonstrated through mastery and application of critical thinking in the design and conduct of research, and application of standard and innovative theory and methods in both coursework and an individual thesis research project. Outcome 2: KNOWLEDGE Graduates will be able to demonstrate: In-depth disciplinary knowledge and capacity to apply that knowledge to soil resource issues at multiple scales. Demonstrated skill in integrating soil systems concepts across multiple disciplines. The ability to employ technical knowledge and leadership skills to a soil science research problem. Learning outcomes specific to Soil Science students: Ability to perform basic analyses in soil science. Ability to perform other basic tasks required of a professional soils scientist. Understand key linkages and interactions between soil science and other earth science processes. Students completing the Soil Science MS program will meet the coursework requirements to gain Professional Soil Science certification through the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA). These outcomes will be accomplished through successful completion of the coursework required for the degree and a thesis research project. Outcome 3: COMMUNICATION Graduates will have the ability to communicate professionally and with the public about soil science research and soil resources. They will gain skills and experience in communicating in both formal and informal venues with learners, practitioners and community members. This will be demonstrated 1
2 through presentation of a thesis, a special non-thesis seminar and a teaching assignment. Outcome 4: ETHICS AND DIVERSITY Graduates will have a commitment to diversity and high ethical standards in scholarship, teaching and service. This will occur through participation and training in research methods courses, professional development courses, and seminars, workshops, or other activities focused on diversity and ethics. 3. Measurement (a) Assessment strategies for each of the learning outcomes Outcome 1: SCHOLARSHIP Students will conduct an independent research project with oversight by a major advisor. When the research project is completed, the thesis is examined along with an oral defense so that faculty can assess the qualifications of the student as an independent scholar and successful communicator. The Scoring Guide for Graduate Learning Outcomes Assessment will be used at each oral defense (see attachment #1). Success rates of defenses, and documentation of deficiencies that delay or inhibit successful completion of the Soil Science degree are noted and reviewed on an annual basis by the Soil Science Graduate Program Director. Outcome 2: KNOWLEDGE Performance in core and discipline-specific courses reveals the level of fundamental knowledge, communication skills, and ability to synthesize. Students in the Soil Science Graduate program must maintain a 3.00 GPA in all coursework. Any term that the GPA falls below this average, the student will meet with the major advisor and the Soil Science Graduate Program Director to develop an educational plan for addressing difficulties. The student will have one term to raise the GPA to appropriate levels or will face termination from the program. The student s Major Professor will track information about classes taken by students, grades and educational plans. Outcome 3: COMMUNICATION Students will be encouraged, supported, and provided the opportunity to design and communicate in both formal (teaching and professional meetings) and informal settings (community and professional education). The supervising instructor will provide GTA reviews and learner evaluations. At professional meetings or seminars, students will be observed by Soil Science faculty members and peers, and as appropriate, from the organization that is sponsoring the professional or community education. All observations will be shared with the student and with the Soil Science Graduate Program Director. Outcome 4: ETHICS AND DIVERSITY Students are expected to demonstrate a commitment to diversity and high ethical standards throughout their coursework, research and teaching assignments. PROGRAM OUTCOMES: With the assistance of the CSS Department administrative assistant, the Soil Science Graduate Program Director will track information about the program including: a. The number of applicants, offers, and acceptances on a yearly basis b. Information about students background qualifications (e.g., undergrad/grad degrees, schools attended, GPA, GRE scores, etc.) will be collected and reviewed on a yearly basis c. An annual student assessment of progress and achievement d. Retention and graduation rates e. Graduate exit interview 2
3 f. Track post-graduation employment success (b) Measurement tools to be used (examination results, performance criteria, evaluation/performance rubrics, etc.) The Director of the Soil Science Graduate Program with assistance from the CSS Department administrative assistant will collect and maintain information listed as described in (a) above. This includes but is not limited to the Scoring Guide for Graduate Learning Outcomes Assessment Attachment #1), and the Mapping Guide for the MS Degree Soil Science Graduate Program. These guides will be made available to each student at the beginning of their tenure in the Soil Science degree program (see Attachment #2) 4. Skeletal assessment plan (Mapping Guide) Skeleton plan describing the specific activities and assessment method for each outcome. See attachment #2 as well as this narrative. Outcome 1 and 2: SCHOLARSHIP AND KNOWLEDGE Coursework will consist of a minimum of 45 credit hours. In consultation with a major professor, a program of study will be developed to develop competence in Soil Science, serve the interests and needs of the student and be relevant to the research project leading to a thesis. Most course programs will include courses from other departments. Outcome 3: COMMUNICATION Communication skills will be developed through participation in university teaching assignments, and presentations at professional conferences, educational courses and seminars throughout the entire program. Outcome 4: ETHICS AND DIVERSITY Commitment to diversity and high ethical standards in soil science scholarship (research), learning, teaching and engagement (service) will be accomplished through participation and training in research methods courses, professional development seminars, workshops and/or seminars focused on diversity and ethics, and core courses. 5. Other activities that have informed decision making Other activities that fall under assessment, but not captured above, may include general satisfaction surveys, employer input, or other initiatives that contribute to student learning or program improvement. 3
